Featured Brainerd Hotel - Holiday Inn Express

[gallery ids="2305,2306,2307"]
In a new segment to be featured on our Visit Brainerd, we will showcase the Brainerd and Baxter hotels and lodging properties.
This week, we’d like to present one of the area's best known hotels, the Holiday Inn Express and Three Bears Waterpark hotel.
Conveniently located right on Highway 371 on the way towards Nisswa, this hotel is a quick drive to all of the restaurants and amenities the Baxter area has to offer, including being right across the Highway from the Boulder Tap House and almost sharing a parking lot with El Tequila Mexican restaurant. One of the main attractions of the Holiday Inn Express is the Three Bears Water Park, which includes a lazy river, Cub Tub (hot tub for families!), adult hot tub, water slides, and more.
Recent reviews include statements like these:
"We had such a great time during our Spring Break mini-vacation. We chose this hotel because of the water park. We have 3 young children and this water park did not look overwhelming, but at the same time had plenty to offer to keep our 3 children happy for 3 days."
“We have stayed here a few times and we love it. The water park is always fun, kids never get bored and it's small enough to be able to keep an eye on them. Very relaxing especially with the adult hot tub. Breakfast was great too!”
“My family of 6, kids ages ranging from 3-11, stayed one night. We love the water park because it is not too small and not too big. We stayed here last Spring and had a great experience as well. We feel the kids are safe and we can see them from almost anywhere in the water park. We might make this an annual get away!”
